Spoiler:

Thanks for the Big Five Comp..........

Wow, what a beast!

Congratulations!

Thanks,... any Water Buffalo over a 280 score is a great Trophy and I'm happy with that.The top leaderboard Water Buffalo ATM is a score of 286.686, so it's not too far away......

Make the ticket stuff like some events before and presto, can't deactivate and reactivate (assuming one can only get hold of a single ticket).

I am going to contact the top 10 players to get their postal addresses, but if you are one of them and reading this, please send me a message here, saves me having to chase everyone around.

We have to thank theHunter Italy and Fiocchi Ammuntions for the great partnership, I hope it is the first of many!

No rules need to be changed- comps do. SP and MP should never be together in one competition. It should be MP and/or SP only. When big events like this happen there should be two comps SP and MP. Simple. Are you willing to let us know if the winners were in SP or MP. I would bet they were in MP. I have nothing against MP play styles, but for comps, MP and SP together is simply silly. Peace.

Great! My first competition and my classification is 116, with 3.590,38 kg. How about that? Next time i'm confident i'm going to stay between the best 10.

BCKidd.

All my 14 hunts were in SP

I made this competition in SP

Awesome! Well done I'd say. Also congrats to the winners, you all deserve the win, whether in SP or MP. Peace.

But I was so stoked when I shot a moose that weighed 617.91 in my first hunt and a bear that was just shy of 550. Thought those two would have covered my butt, boy was I wrong. Found the bison to be the hardest to find a heavy one. Left like 100kg on that one. What was your hardest animal to find?

My God! That Roosevelt Elk is absolutely a nightmare to hunt whithout using blinds, stands, towers or shooting tripods. It was the reason i became 116.

RidgeBack69 wrote:The comp was fun and not overly frustrating. Congratulations to all that made the top 20 without using the multiplayer loop hole!I will not complain about it being MP and SP at the same time but instead call into question those that decided to play in a way that gave them an advantage over those that played fair. Oh and if you used those tactics/strategies congratulations to you also.

While I had no idea this was a thing i managed to place 209. Not great but not to bad. I do not believe that is a strategy or loophole but an exploit of game mechanics. Sadly when a dev sees there is no way to close that exploit without effecting many more things in the process they usually say its ok or acceptable practice. If simply making it single player eliminated this in some way and once in a competition your in it without activate/reactivate from my perspective this would balance that out. You gain an advantage over others. I know now that I will likely avoid MP/SP comps. I enjoy going out tracking and finding the animals not jumping rushing and reloading until I get what I want or have the spawn needed. You were kind. Id say its just flat sad and not in the spirit of "hunting" but more like a deer or elk farm. They are there all you do is shoot. i did enjoy it and previous competitions I have entered. Knowing this is a thing kind of takes the wind out of youre sails for a minute but the value of ones gaming time is subjective grats to all the winners!
